I entered my Nintendo Letterbox (swapnote) app today on 3DS and was greeted with a lovely message saying spotpass functions have ended.

 

Special messages will never be received again.

No longer are you allowed to send messages to friends a distance away.

 

This was caused because people were abusing the app by sending offensive material to each other.

 

I am saddened by this.  I used this with my little brother a lot and now it's gone.

Guess Nintendo likes to ruin the fun for everyone because of some bad eggs in the crowd.

 

I have a problem with this.  Both parties needed each others codes to even send messages and WHO is it hurting by what friends exchange with each other?  Even the streetpass part of it needed the other party to have your code registered.  It's not like some minor is going to see a pee-pee drawing randomly while walking down the street, oh, PARENTAL CONTROLS SAY HELLO.

 

I guess Nintendo should kill everything which can interact with another person.

Goodbye going to another town in animal crossing.

Goodbye pokemon chatting.

 

Keep Nintendo off the internet or else they'll remove the crappy browser too!  Keep up the good work.

Hurry up and move to the 21st century for goodness sake, embrace the internet and online communication better.

 

Looking forward to flipnote studio where I can share drawings with friends and my brother.....unless they decide to not release it because of this fiasco.

 

EDIT: As of Today (november 1st), Japans Flipnote Studio app has now been affected the same way as Swapnote.  Sharing with the friends gallery is no longer available.

I guess the only option for flipnote now is to pay for the online service (No thank you).

 

Damn you Nintendo.

Now how am I supposed to send pegasus generator pics to my friends (Blake)

[YoshiGamer9]

What is this... I don't even... I give up.

I don't know who's worse. Nintendo for shutting down the whole service and not finding a better solution. Or the idiot parents who let their idiot kids send nudes to others. We need to protest this. Nintendo is a great company, but they can make some of the absolute STUPIDEST decisions in the industry. This is one of them. If this is their logic, the video apps should be removed, Bayonetta 2 should be cancelled, W101 should be patched to remove Wonder Pink, Nintendo should ban all M rated games with nudity, Miiverse should be removed, and the internet browser should be removed.

Nintendo sucks.

[Goom]

Well this is disappointing.....I was planning on sending a picture of me and my dog tonight for Halloween through Swpanote. I'ld taken the picture and everything. What's worse is that Swapnote was the only form of communication I had  with an old forum member. Now I won't be able to contact her.....;-;

[Hank Hill]

Uh...isn't this more of a user fault rather than a program fault?

 

I mean, you can't send swapnotes to just anybody. You have to actually have their friend code put in and everything...

 

Not like nudes are spamming my inbox.

[Abcdude]

They could have at least released miiverse on the 3ds first.

[Gaymer]

I am guilty of sending questionable content to my husband, lol. But I hardly use swapnote anymore. They need to release that messaging service already.

[TriplePower]

I personally couldn't stand it. It used to flash in the menu constantly until I turned it off for good.

[Auzzie Wingman]

It was the most annoying app ever. Seriously.

[Doc]

I used to use it, but now I talk to my friends on Steam and Skype (even though I barely play any steam games nowadays, mostly downloaded it to talk to my friends). It's a shame that they did what you have said :/ Oh well whatever.

[Nollog]

Assholes.

Nintendo, not the users who used it that way.
Who the Wii are Nintendo to tell kids what and what they shouldn't do?
Leave luck to parents, assholes. You don't need to hold lazy parents hands, you made parental controls, so much so that you forced region-locking like idiots on handhelds, you've done enough. Leave the rest to the parents.

[Portal]

This is really disappointing. For some people SwapNote is the only way they can contact people.

[3Dude]

Oh, its Daisy at nintendo for bending to the will of frothing idiot parents time again?

WELL THEN.



WTF is this nintendo? What is this neon diarea garbage? Really Nintendo? Really? You are going to turn the best designed lightgun ever into a neon orange terd because a slew of frothing idiots who have never actually seen a gun before somehow thinks THIS



Looks too much like a real gun?

I SAY THEE NAY!!!!

You may take our lives, but you will NEVER take my original grey zapper! It matches my consoles asthetic perfectly.

[Nollog]

I really need to find my original NES and zapper gun. I miss it.

too much liquor

[Guy Fieri]

It's sad that Nintendo just has to pander to the irresponsible parents. It's pathetic that companies like Nintendo are now trying to parent for the lazy parents. All this is going to do is make the parents more lazy, and everyone else suffers for it.
